–?? ?AFC scores Region 8; APNU nets three ?As anticipated, the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) took control of six of the country’s 10 Administrative Regions when elections for the Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen were held yesterday.The notable change in the political makeup for the hierarchy in the regions was in Region Eight, where the Alliance for Change (AFC) managed to get its nominee,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, Mark Crawford,China NFL Jerseys, elected to the post.It means that for the first time in the history of the Potaro/Siparuni that the chairman was not of the ruling PPP/C or the People’s National Congress, the party which is the major bloc in the opposition coalition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).APNU, however, did managed to get its nominees elected in Regions Four (Clement Corlette), Seven (Gordon Bradford) and Ten (Sharma Soloman). These areas traditionally enjoy the support of the PNC.No women were elected to head the regions.
